Ya know it's going to be buyers remorse it's like going through life wondering how it would have been if you married Becky !! Plus Scout looks and engineering is much better. Buy a used beater at auction to keep ya busy
Maybe try a used EV to get your feet wet buy it for 30 k drive it for two yrs get 15 20 k at trade or give to your kids ?

Yes I’m by far not the most engineering or tech savvy of future Scout buyer but I’m getting increasingly concerned that our Scouts will be outdated by the time delivery arrives. We’ve seen such a whipsaw in the electric market of late yet the world is obviously headed that way. I hope Scout is saving space for adapting to how batteries and other tech change so upgrades can be made before our cars are delivered.
Correct Cadillac/ GM have engineered the ultimatum battery packs to be increased in density within the frames engineered chassis. Each manufacturer will probably have their own metrics as to battery packs which makes sense in an evolving market. I think Scout will come to market with the 350 mile EV and offer an Extended range version for additional fees as well as accessories such as Scout pack portables and Vehicle to home charging options. EV's are the future their just some hurdles to overcome you just have to take one home for a week and see for yourself

Outdated tech is definitely a sliding scale for everyone. Range will probably be the biggest for most perhaps? I think it definitely depends on the person. I rarely go over 100 miles a day and never tow. Not an issue for me. But not having a rear back up camera or heated steering wheel would be a deal breaker for me.
Today I saw an old guy (even older than me!) driving this restored 1940’s Cadillac and it looked unbelievable. That tech is 80 years old. Still, the owner clearly values looks and vibe over tech.
Theres just some times where lines and looks trump tech. Just my personal opinion but I think the Scout is going to have timeless lines. However the tech changes, it will remain a valued car solely on looks alone. Being an off-roader will cement its place in history, just like the first round
I agree I love the new technology and ride enhancements. But i also love when designers incorporate old school lines and knobs etc. within the new design bring the past into the future with class and rugged. But I need to like the shoes before they go on my feet. Quite frankly I'm loving this Cadillac Vistiq so scout can takes it's time good till 2029 before warranty runs out. 305 miles is good but round trip to grandkids running around between games etc. 450 be great hopefully that becomes reality in the near future. Escalade and new bmw claim to have so looking forward to seeing Scouts final product and if EV and Erev are produced simultaneously.
